1952 Consul Val Jensen and his beautiful wife Mary Ellen (Theta) recently reminisced that the alumni declared 67 years ago plans to build a new chapter house. It's why Val, now 90, has donated and urges you to do the same until construction is complete and doors open. Go to www.wsusigmachi.org

new scholarships for
Beta Upsilon only.


  Want one?  

ANNOUNCING
'THE WSU SIGMA CHI SEVEN LIGHTS SCHOLARSHIP'
exclusively for Beta Upsilon brothers

Thanks to a $110,000 endowment from Brothers Scott Lennon (Consul 1999), Dr. Brian Voortman (1999) and Garith Krause (Consul 1965), up to four Beta Upsilon Sigs living in the house will receive $1,000-$4,000 in tuition payments. This fund begins this summer and continues in perpetuity.

The Beta Upsilon
BELL CHAPTER CHALLENGE FUND
is back again with THREE scholarships

When alums donate to the Beta Upsilon Bell Chapter Challenge Fund, it creates $3,000 to give to 1-3 applicants. Just ask Brandon Fullmer. He won $3,000 last year. It also pays for your travel to KLTW, Horizons and Province, and much more.
